Sean Payton might not be the head coach of the New Orleans Saints anymore, but the content never stops.
You can thank longtime Saints DE Cam Jordan for that this week, with a song dedicated to his former coach at the annual NFL Honors ceremony.

The song parody was set to the melody of Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway as the singer stood nearby helping emcee the event with Jordan. The Saints DE was also aided by a trio of backup singers who, in all fairness, did the heavy lifting on the song itself.
Here are the full lyrics:
Pa pa pa pa Payton
Pa pa pa pa Payton
He wants to sing to Sean Payton
Met you as a rookie
So you might think it shook me
When you retired
But coach he isn't bitter
Except sometimes on Twitter
Go on and coach away
Help Denver breakaway
You were his coach
Then you needed a break
Then I assume Bradshaw gave you a headache
Now you're back
Best of luck
When Russell throws a duck
You'll get a takeaway
Cam closed with a message: "Hey, good luck coach. Make sure you stay in the AFC."

It was a bit of levity to underscore what was an extended and slightly awkward bit of Saints history following his abrupt retirement after the 2021 season. Payton spent a year as a studio commentator for Fox, but was traded the Denver Broncos earlier this month and will lead Russell Wilson and Co. for the foreseeable future.
Payton went on Good Morning Football and applauded Jordan's effort Friday morning.
"It was outstanding Cam, fantastic job," he said. "Cam wants to be a [Michael Straham] now."
Jordan remains on the Saints, where he has been since the team drafted him in the first round in 2011. New Orleans scuffled to a 7-10 record in the first year under Dennis Allen, and didn't have any representatives in the finalists for the awards on Thursday night, though WR Chris Olave was up toward the top of the list of potential offensive rookie of the year options. His former Ohio State teammate Garrett Wilson won the award after putting up similar numbers to Olave's in his first year with the New York Jets. Wilson finished the year with 83 catches for 1,103 yards and 4 TDs, while Olave finished with 72 catches for 1,042 yards and 4 TDs.
